BARR’S HARDY HOOP PETTICOAT AND YELLOW TRUMPET DAFFODILS. 
Daffodils — Qro up I.— continued. 
All the Trumpet Daffodils are prized for pot-culture, flowering under glass with the Hyacinth, 
and should be cultivated in the same way, three to five roots In a 4 or 5 -inch pot. The cut flowers 
of Daffodils are much in demand for bouquets and vases. For general cultural directions, seepage 4. 
Explanation why different sized types have been used in the NAMES of the Daffodils. 
(1) . EMPEROR. This type indicates the higher quality. 
( 2 ) . ALBICANS. This type indicates the next quality. 
( 3 ) . BlFLORUS. This type indicates the lower quality. 
The very distinct species which do not admit of comparison , such as Corbularia, Cyclamineus, 
Minimus, etc., we place with the higher quality , and those which rank above the higher standard are 
indicated by the word extra. 
N.B. — We have expunged from our Catalogue the names of many Daffodils which are superseded by 
others of higher quality at equally moderate prices. 
Daffodil Bulbs supplied September, October, November, and December. 
In Spring our Collection of Daffodils underwent a further very critical examination, which 
resulted in our using special types to indicate quality, and of expunging superseded varieties, as 
explained above. The following list embraces the highest class, and most distinct varieties, 
far surpassing in beauty and rich diversity, any assortment of Daffodils offered to the public. 
It contains the cream of our immense Collection (about 500 kinds), and consists mostly of 
new sorts, some of which were offered for the first time 1887 , 1888 , 1889 , 1890 , and the 
present year.
